    5 review locations, that's gotta be a record for Merphy's vlogs.

    Fully on the floppy paperback train as well! Hardcovers are just so cumbersome to read sometimes - also I'm glad you liked Silverblood Promise!! I'm quite excited to see where the series goes, all the hints of the epic history and world building got me hooked!

    Thank you for your thoughts on a Letter to the Luminous Deep. I was planning to read it, but I got the ebook and read the first couple of chapters and returned it. I felt like it was going to be more vibes than plot, which I'm not in the mood for right now, so it's good to see that confirmed!

    I've been eagerly waiting for this review of The Last Phi Hunter because I needed to feel validated after seeing so many positive reviews, and you took the words right out of my mouth omg!! You expressed exactly what I felt reading this book. And I, too, have a personal beef with "Chapter 12" and some other scenes scattered throughout the book!

    Intro Merphy: "--I don't think it's written very well--"
    Actual Merphy: *specifically talking about character angst, not the book itself*
    ......Does that count as false advertising? 😅 I like paperbacks, too. Only about 30% of my books are hardbacks, and that's because that's what was available at the time I got them.

    • @ViridianForests
      @ViridianForests Před měsícem +1

      To be fair, that's also part of the writing! The whole book and it's contents is technically part of the writing, not just how the sentences are built 😅 I agree on the paperbacks too. I have an increasing amount of hardbacks, but that's only because I can't find the paperback version of the books I want :/

    I read an arc of Silverblood Promise a while ago and it was like a 3.5 for me mainly because of the writing, but I was really baffled by all the info dumping because from my understanding while the author is technically a debut, he is a professional editor. So I was like surely you should be aware of info dumping as a problem for fantasy?? The humour also didn’t work at all for me

    So, you go to the rock climbing gym and I assume wear a harness and safety line. Yet there is a picture I think from your instagram where you are out in the woods on a rock cliff and appear to be rather high up...NO SAFETY LINE. ironic, no?

      Climbing without a rope is called Bouldering, it's usually done with crash pads (something to fall on) and you don't go nearly as high as you do when you're tied in. So what I was saying in the vlog (which I now see maybe didn't make sense if you're not familiar with climbing) is that they only had bouldering available at the gym that day, but I didn't want to do that because last time I bouldered I hurt myself because I fell funny, so I wanted to just come back another day where I could tie in
